box said made in Turkey...


Part in question was a camshaft for a 617. Journals were underground by 0.1 inches approximately. Garbage which fortunately wouldn't fit and I purchased a factory part instead.

I went round and round on ball joints a few years ago. The big push in the lists has been that Lemforder supplies them to MB. Looked at the stampings on the dealership joints -TRW. I did some searching. Turns out, the mechanics prefer Lemforder because they don't harden the shell of the ball joints. If it gets cocked when pressing-it doesn't damage their tool. Not a good thing for life and buying the TRW part from the dealership was 1/2-2/3 the price of buying it from a discounter.
